Product description
Commercial Law provides a clear, concise and accessible introduction to the fundamental concepts of commercial law. It describes and explains both the traditional areas of commercial law and other discrete areas of law that are now essential to successful modern commercial practice.
Part I deals exclusively with the foundations of personal property. Part II presents fundamental commercial law concepts and is designed to foster a strong understanding of the application of those concepts in contemporary commerce. It provides a focus on the increasing importance of statutory regulation, covering topics such as the personal property securities regime, consumer protection legislation, insurance contracts law and e-commerce.
The fifth edition has been extensively updated to include recent developments in case law and legislation, such as:
- application of the statutory guarantees and indemnity provisions in the Australian Consumer Law
- statutory reform to the Personal Property Securities Act
- application of the Electronic Transactions Act in the context of commercial transactions
The straightforward explanations make this an ideal text for students and the up-to-date, practical analysis makes it a valuable reference for any practitioner.
